News: 2 days agoTexans head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Wednesday that Harrison will make his team debut Sunday versus the Jaguars in London, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Spin: Harrison was inactive for the Cardinals' Week 5 loss to the Lions before he was officially traded Monday to the Texans along with a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for 2027 second- and seventh-round picks. After passing his physical, Harrison took the field Wednesday for his first practice with the Texans. Houston may limit Harrison's snaps to some degree in Week 6, but once he fully absorbs his new playbook, he could make a push for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart at receiver behind Nico Collins.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Harrison's pro career is off to a slow start after he was selected with the No. 4 overall pick back in 2024. The Ohio State product was serviceable as a rookie (885 yards and eight TDs), but he missed five full games and was limited in others en route to a 41-608-4 receiving line in 2025. Harrison has finished 41st and 39th, respectively, in fantasy PPG despite a massive role near the goal line (he's third in the NFL in end zone targets since he was drafted and finished both seasons in the top five). Harrison is only entering his prime at age 24 and perhaps he'll make a Year 3 leap with new coach Mike LaFleur calling the plays and with Kyler Murray no longer under center. Harrison performed better with Jacoby Brissett under center last season and has the raw talent to make him well worth post-hype consideration in the middle rounds.
